Chapter 219: Please Teach Me, Teacher Jing He!
Chapter 219: Please Teach Me, Teacher Jing He!
"Are you Teacher Jing He?"
Wu Neng carefully examined Jing He's appearance and recognized him.
Noticing the puzzled look on Jing He's face, Wu Neng smiled and said, "I forgot to introduce myself. I am Wu Neng, the Gym Leader of the Slateport Gym. My son, Xiaogang, has mentioned you, Teacher Jing He."
The Gym Leader of the Slateport Gym?
Before Jing He could react, the four Gengar immediately narrowed their eyes, their gazes gradually turning hungry as they looked at Wu Neng.
One of the last two Gym Leaders in the Kanto region!
In the eyes of the Gengar, Wu Neng wasn't just Wu Neng; he was a walking six million!
Wu Neng: !!
Noticing the Gengar's gazes, Wu Neng suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
"This is..."
Jing He quickly stepped in front of the Gengar, blocking their view, and changed the subject, "I've heard of Gym Leader Wu Neng."
"Hahaha—" Wu Neng scratched the back of his head and laughed heartily, "Really? Really?"
Jing He nodded in agreement, "You have ten children, contributing significantly to the League!"
The foremost breeder in the Pokemon world!
No one was unaware of this title.
His eldest son, Xiaogang, was the legendary "Appraiser"!
The rest, such as Erlang, Sanlang, and Wulang, didn't even deserve names.
Jing He had even suspected that Wu Neng might have the "Super Male" gene, otherwise, how could he be so fertile?
Definitely the "Breeder" of the family.
Oh, wait, clearly Xiaogang's mother, Xiaomi, was the "Breeder," while Wu Neng was at most the "Sower."
Xiaogang's obsession with the opposite sex was likely inherited from Wu Neng.
Wu Neng waved his hand, adopting a casual demeanor.
"You can do it too, Teacher Jing He!"
Jing He: "."
Raising ten children, each aspiring to be a Trainer, would be incredibly draining.
No wonder Xiaogang was so versatile, capable of almost anything besides being a Trainer and Breeder.
Earning money to support a family was no easy task.
"So... why is Gym Leader Wu Neng here?" Jing He changed the subject again.
He was here because of the Gengar. Wu Neng, who should have been at the Slateport Gym, had come here.
Upon hearing this, Wu Neng's expression turned serious, "Naturally, for training!"
Jing He looked skeptical.
As a fellow man, Jing He had a hunch...
Most likely, it was because of Wu Neng's wife, Xiaomi.
Clearly, Wu Neng was a henpecked husband.
On one hand, he loved Xiaomi deeply, and on the other, he couldn't beat her.
After all, Wu Neng was an expert in Rock-type Pokemon, while his wife, Xiaomi, specialized in Water-type Pokemon, which had a type advantage.
However, upon seeing Jing He's expression, Wu Neng revealed another reason.
"To be honest, Gym battles... are very expensive. Going on a training trip also gives me an excuse to close the Gym for a while," Wu Neng admitted, a bit embarrassed.
"Uh..."
Jing He was taken aback.
Then he understood.
Gym battles were indeed costly, especially for Rock-type, Ground-type, and Steel-type Gyms.
Just the repair costs for the arena alone were substantial.
Not to mention, Wu Neng had ten children to support.
"It's not easy," Jing He sighed.
Wu Neng, turning sideways, looked up, rubbed his eyes, and completed the gesture in one fluid motion.
Finally, someone understood him!
"Right," Wu Neng relaxed and asked, "By the way, that huge Gengar earlier..."
"Oh, it's probably an ancient Pokemon. I've already informed Officer Jenny."
Jing He then briefly explained the situation.
However, Wu Neng seemed to only hear "Officer Jenny."
He quickly ran to the river, scooped up some water, combed his hair, and looked at Jing He with a thumbs-up and a bright smile, "Teacher Jing He, how do I look now?"
Jing He: "."
I thought I saw Teacher Kai for a moment.
"Good, good."
"Really?"
He looked at his reflection in the water again.
But the next moment, a Gengar slowly emerged from the lake, giving Wu Neng a sinister grin.
For about three seconds, man and ghost stared at each other.
Wu Neng: !!
He sprang up, jumping at least three meters high, his face instantly pale.
It was proven that even the bravest man could be scared by a ghost.
Due to the commotion and Jing He's reputation among the Jenny family, a helicopter soon flew into the forest.
When the helicopter landed, Officer Jenny, two police officers, and two archaeologists disembarked.
Seeing Officer Jenny, Wu Neng instantly perked up.
With a "thud," he knelt before Officer Jenny, looking like a lovesick fan.
"Officer Jenny, I am Wu—"
One could say he was almost a carbon copy of Xiaogang.
"Teacher Jing He!"
However, Officer Jenny didn't even glance at him, instead running to Jing He with a blush on her cheeks.
Just like a schoolgirl seeing her idol.
Click—
Wu Neng froze.
Ignored!
Thanks to the "Surrounding Team" and occasional online lessons for the Jenny family in Mauville, Jing He had gained a high reputation among the Jennys.
Moreover, Jing He's appearance was indeed outstanding, with only a few like Dianthus being able to match him.
Jing He smiled and said, "Thank you, Officer Jenny."
"No, no trouble at all. It's my duty."
Then, Jing He briefly recounted what had happened.
Jing He gave a special instruction.
"These ancient Pokemon artifacts are extremely dangerous and should ideally be stored with the bell at the top of the altar. Inside that bell, a giant Jigglypuff is in a deep sleep. If the giant Gengar and Hypno start causing trouble again, the giant Jigglypuff will be able to handle it. It would be best to move the altar along with the artifacts."
"Does Professor Jing He also know about archaeology?"
"Somewhat, somewhat."
"Professor Jing He," Officer Jenny said, looking a bit embarrassed, "could you sign this for me?"
Jing He was taken aback for a moment before responding, "Of course."
"Can we take a photo together?"
"Uh, sure."
Officer Jenny then took out her phone and snapped a selfie of herself and Jing He.
Click
She then sent the photo to the Jenny family's "We Love Each Other" group chat.
[Cherrygrove Jenny]: Got a photo and signature from Professor Jing He! (Photo attached)
The group chat immediately erupted in excitement.
Since the artifacts were important, Officer Jenny and her team didn't stay long. After collecting the artifacts, they quickly left.
Before leaving, she assured Jing He that she would report his contribution to the Pokemon League. She believed the League would certainly offer an appropriate reward as a token of gratitude.
Jing He responded immediately.
"The reward isn't important; I just want to see how much the League has in reserve."
To be honest, those three ancient Pokemon were very powerful, but since they couldn't communicate, they were also unusable. Moreover, Jing He had already raised a Gengar to be as big as a Snorlax. The thought of a giant Gengar was too much to even imagine.
"Professor Jing He, please say hello to my cousin in Cinnabar City for me."
Jing He waved as the helicopter flew away.
"Professor Jing He!" As soon as the helicopter left, Wushu suddenly shouted.
Bang!
He kneeled in front of Jing He, startling him.
"Director Wushu, is this necessary?"
"Slipped, slipped."
Jing He: "..."
Wushu patted his pants and stood up, then said seriously, "Please teach me! No, teach my friend!"
"Teach what?"
Wushu leaned in and whispered, "How to make pretty girls so proactive?"
Jing He glanced at him.
You cheeky married man!
Jing He sighed and said, "Director Wushu, that's not something easily learned."
Wushu's face turned serious.
"I, no, my friend can endure hardship."
Jing He nodded thoughtfully.
"First—"
Wushu nodded eagerly, showing he was listening intently.
"You need a face that's sufficiently handsome."
Wushu: Σ(дlll)
After that, Jing He and Wushu sat by the lake and chatted.
Though Wushu seemed a bit unreliable, he indeed was quite unreliable. In the anime, he could be easily tricked by the Team Rocket trio into going on a journey. He left on a trip to become a better trainer, which led his wife to also leave in a fit of anger. This left Brock to take care of his nine younger siblings, causing the Pewter Gym's reputation to drop to just above the Cerulean Gym.
However, Wushu did love his children, though his way of showing it was often ineffective. In comparison, Brock was more like a father.
Jing He took on the role of a psychologist, listening to Wushu's complaints. Wushu, finding a vent for his frustrations, spilled many things, the most significant being his inability to beat his wife, Xiaomi. This was the true reason he often went on journeys and trained.
After talking a lot, Wushu took a deep breath and looked at Jing He gratefully.
"Thank you for listening to me, Professor Jing He!"
Jing He shook his head.
Every family has its own tough issues. He, too, had his hands full trying to raise Gengar and the others.
Indeed, Gengar, now fully recovered, had already taken the Melmetal and others to start another "mining" expedition in the forest.
But life was like that.
Sweet moments inevitably came with a touch of bitterness. As long as you genuinely cared for your Pokemon, they would respond in kind.
"Gengar~"
Gengar suddenly appeared behind him, offering a "Cheriberry."
After Jing He took it, Gengar gave him a solid lick and ran off with a mischievous grin.
Under Wushu's stunned gaze, Jing He calmly took a bite of the "Cheriberry."
Jing He scoffed inwardly.
Don't be envious.
Do you think every trainer's Pokemon would prepare a "Cheriberry" for them?
Seeing Jing He's skilled and calm actions, Wushu remarked, "Professor Jing He, the bond between you and your Pokemon is truly strong."
Jing He didn't deny this.
Wushu patted his cheek, stood up, and said seriously, "Professor Jing He, how about a battle?"
"Hmm?"
"Liza said you want to challenge the Pokemon League. This 'Gray Badge' of mine will certainly be useful to you. Consider it a token of gratitude for listening to me!"
Wait a minute.
Do you have a misunderstanding about "gratitude"?
If it's gratitude, shouldn't you just give me the badge?
And why is it always Liza?
Is this girl spreading my name everywhere?
Confirmed, she's definitely a fangirl turned critic.
